| | Mailing List Programs (Linktionary term) |
 | | First, the industry now commonly calls mailing list programs "listservers," but this is a name owned by L-Soft International, Inc., which makes the LISTSERV mailing list program, originally created by Eric Thomas in 1986. |
 | | A mailing list program is a program that uses Internet protocols to automate e-mail message distribution to members of a mailing list. |
 | | When a message is sent to the mailing list, it is exploded, meaning that duplicates of the message are sent to everyone on the list. |
